Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing asymmetric ether compounds and their application in the preparation of drugs and pesticides. Background Technology
[0002] Asymmetric ethers are an important class of organic compounds with the general structural formula RO-R' (R ≠ R'). They have wide applications in the chemical industry as excellent solvents, key intermediates for pharmaceuticals, polymer monomers, and precursors for fine chemicals.
[0003] Traditional Williamson ether synthesis typically involves nucleophilic substitution reactions between alkoxide anions and haloalkanes. It generally requires strong bases (such as sodium hydride or potassium tert-butoxide) and high reaction temperatures, making the conditions harsh, resulting in low atom economy. Furthermore, it has poor compatibility with many base-sensitive functional groups (such as ester and cyano groups), making it difficult to apply to the synthesis of complex molecules.
[0004] To address this issue, other synthetic routes have been developed in this field, such as acid-catalyzed transetherification reactions. However, these methods still have significant limitations in terms of reaction selectivity (e.g., avoiding the formation of symmetrical ether byproducts) and universality with complex substrates (especially substrates containing heteroatoms or specific substituents), and reaction efficiency and product yield need to be further improved.
[0005] Silver salts, particularly silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (AgOTf), exhibit unique activity in promoting carbon-heterobonding reactions as highly efficient Lewis acid catalysts. They can promote ether bond formation by activating electrophilic reagents such as halogenated hydrocarbons or stabilizing reaction intermediates. However, existing AgOTf catalytic systems typically have the following limitations: to ensure catalyst activity and reaction selectivity, the relevant reactions generally need to be carried out under strictly anhydrous and oxygen-free environments (inert gas protection) and light-protected conditions. For example, CN113717033B employs a photocatalytic / nickel catalytic system that requires the isolation of oxygen. These stringent operational requirements not only increase equipment costs and safety risks but also make the reaction process cumbersome, hindering industrial production.
[0006] Therefore, developing a method for synthesizing asymmetric ether compounds that is mild, easy to operate, has a wide range of applicable substrates, requires no special protection, and is suitable for industrial production is an urgent and significant technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The present invention aims to overcome the problems of harsh conditions, cumbersome operation, strict protection requirements, and large substrate limitations in the existing asymmetric ether synthesis methods, and provides a method for synthesizing asymmetric ether compounds with readily available raw materials, mild conditions, simple operation, wide substrate applicability, and good yield.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A first aspect of the present invention provides a method for synthesizing asymmetric ether compounds.

The "heteroaryl" group is a 5-membered heteroaryl group, more preferably selected from: pyrazolyl, imidazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, and thiazolyl groups; the heteroaryl group may optionally be substituted by 1 or 2 substituents independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl groups and halogen atoms.
[0012] More preferably, the "substituted C6-C" 10 "Aryl" is a phenyl group substituted with 1 to 3 halogen atoms. "Heteroaryl" is a group selected from 1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-yl, thiazolyl-4-yl, oxazol-4-yl, 1-methyl-1H-imidazolyl-4-yl, isoxazol-3-yl, and 3,5-dimethylisooxazol-4-yl.
[0013] Preferably, the amount of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate used is 1.5 to 2.5 equivalents of the molar amount of the compound of formula (I).
[0014] More preferably, the amount of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate used is 2.0 equivalents of the molar amount of the compound of formula (I).

[0017] Preferably, the reaction is carried out under conditions where light protection is not required.
[0018] Preferably, the reaction is carried out in a solvent selected from dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, or mixtures thereof.
[0019] Preferably, the reaction time is 12 to 16 hours.
[0020] Preferably, the post-processing method of the reaction includes: after the reaction is completed, filtering the reaction mixture and concentrating the filtrate.
[0021] A second aspect of the present invention provides the use of an asymmetric ether compound prepared by the synthetic method described in the first aspect of the present invention in the preparation of a pharmaceutical or pesticide.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Mild conditions and simple operation: The reaction can be carried out efficiently in air atmosphere and at room temperature, and there is no need to avoid light.

The process steps are simple, the product purity is high, the overall yield is good, and it has significant potential for industrial scale-up. Attached Figure Description

[0064] Control and optimization experiments 1. Reaction Atmosphere Control Experiment
[0065] Under the same material, catalyst dosage and reaction time as in step 2 of Example 1, a control experiment was set up, that is, the reaction conditions were changed from air atmosphere to strict nitrogen protection. Compared with Example 1, the control group did not produce the target product and a large amount of starting material was left over, proving that air atmosphere is a necessary condition for the reaction system to proceed.
[0066] 2. Control experiment under light-shielding conditions
[0067] Under the same material and air atmosphere as step 2 of Example 1, a control group was set up, in which the reactor was tightly wrapped with aluminum foil to completely block light. The results showed that the yield and purity of the control group were comparable to those under natural light conditions in Example 1. The operation of blocking light is not a necessary condition for this reaction, which further simplifies the operation process.
[0068] 3. Optimization experiment of catalyst (silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, AgOTf) dosage Under the same material, air atmosphere, and room temperature conditions as in step 2 of Example 1, the effect of AgOTf dosage on the reaction yield was systematically investigated, and the results are shown in Table 1.
[0069]
[0070] As shown in the table above, the amount of AgOTf significantly affects the reaction efficiency. When the amount is below 1.5 equivalents, the yield is low; the yield reaches its maximum at 2.0 equivalents; further increasing the amount slightly decreases the yield. Therefore, using 2.0 equivalents of AgOTf is the preferred condition for this reaction.
[0071] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
